What Is A Mini-Session + Why You Should Book One!

IT’S OFFICIALLY FALL, EVERYONE!

I am from South Carolina where it is always blazing hot right until the last second of Summer and this year proved just that. This time last week it was at least 92 degrees and now we are settling into the mid to early 70’s which is my love language. I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding this weekend and to feel the cooler weather rush in after the sun went down made me so happy!

Now that we are getting into Fall, I want to talk about a service I like to offer every year:

Mini-Sessions!

Mini-Sessions are a great way to design a small concept and execute it with people like you! The reason I like to offer this service is because you can work with multiple clients at once, design a specific look, and create portfolio work. At the same time, when I market mini-sessions I will always get at least one DM asking what a mini-session is. So, I thought this would be the perfect time to break down the definition, explain who mini-sessions are for, and talk about my next one coming up very soon! Let’s get into it!

WHAT IS A MINI-SESSION

A mini-session is exactly what it sounds like! These are shorter photography sessions that can last anywhere from 15-30 minutes, depending on the photographer. In contrast to a regular photography session, a mini-session is typically lower in price and shorter in duration.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF A MINI-SESSION?

The point of a mini-session is found within its value! As mentioned earlier, a mini-session is typically lower in price which makes them more accessible to people who cannot afford a normal photography session. With the bulk of Covid-19 behind us, I believe mini-sessions can be a way to market to those still recovering from the financial burdens of the pandemic.

WHO CAN BOOK A MINI-SESSION?

Anyone can book a mini-session! When thinking of booking, you are creating forever memories with your partner, best friend, or even yourself. Mini-sessions are perfect for events like graduation, family photos, birthday photos, and so much more! The best part about these sessions are they are designed specifically for you and no one else so, you call the shots. Want to dress up in a selkie dress and pop champagne? No one is stopping you! You can do anything you want in those 15-30 minutes which makes everything more fun!

WHAT ARE THE A-FRAME SESSIONS?

I am thrilled to present, The A-Frame Sessions! A mini-session service that will take place in a stunning cottage in Columbia, South Carolina. These sessions will be happening on October 2nd, from 3:30-7:00 with all sessions in a 30-minute interval. When planning this mini-session, I knew I wanted to have an autumn feel to them which is why I went with an a-frame home! I absolutely loved this detail and it is one of the reasons I decided on this home for the sessions.

WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK AN A-FRAME SESSION.

I personally believe an A-Frame Session is perfect for couples, besties, and individuals! This is because there are many ways to style your shoot from a cozy boho, chic look to a funky modern look. There is no wrong way when thinking of what to wear for your sessions which makes them available for literally anyone! I wanted to be sure these sessions felt as inclusive as possible!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO THE A-FRAME SESSION?

This is my favorite question to answer about the A-Frame Sessions! Because there is no wrong way to style your session, I have created mood-boards for different styles you can draw inspiration from. These mood-boards cover cozy-cottage core, minimalism, and more. To check them out click, here.

This is a service I am so giddy to share with you and if you are interested or have any questions, please reach out to me! I want to help you feel the most confident when booking, shooting, and beyond! I hope you all have the best week and I will talk to you next Sunday!

Until then…
